I did not test it but I'd bet that parallel decommision will lead to inconsistencies. Each decommission results in range movements and range reassignments which becomes effective after a successful decommission. If you start several decommissions at once, I guess the calculated reassignments are invalid for at least one node after the first node finished the decommission process.
I hope someone will correct me if i am wrong. 2017-04-11 18:43 GMT+02:00 Jacob Shadix <jacobsha...@gmail.com>: > Are you using vnodes?
